## extract

Air Quality Alert — Douglas, OR
Severity: Unknown. Certainty: Unknown.
Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has issued an Air
Quality Advisory...in effect until further notice for eastern Douglas
County...

The Castle Fire and wildfires to the north combined with northerly
winds will cause air quality levels to lower through the next few
days.

Smoke levels will change over the next few days due to varying wind
direction and fire activity. Some improvement is expected towards the
end of the week. People at risk include infants and young children,
people with heart or lung disease, older adults and pregnant people.

People can take the following precautions to protect their health:

* Follow local burn restrictions to prevent deteriorating air
quality.
* Avoid strenuous outdoor activity during periods of poor air
quality.
* People with heart or lung problems and young children are
especially vulnerable. These people should stay indoors while smoke
levels are high.
* Use certified High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters in
indoor heating, ventilation, cooling and air purification systems.
